Normal (Fixed Speed) Cruise Control Mode - Jeep 2011 WK2 Grand Cherokee Owner's Manual

Normal (Fixed Speed) Cruise
Control Mode
In addition to Adaptive Cruise Control mode, a
normal (fixed speed) Cruise Control mode is
available for cruising at fixed speeds. The
normal Cruise Control mode is designed to
maintain a set cruising speed without requiring
the driver to operate the accelerator. Cruise
Control can only be operated if the vehicle
speed is above 18 mph (30 km/h).
To change modes, press the MODE button
when the system is in either the OFF, READY, or
SET position. "Cruise Ready" will be displayed
if the system was in ACC READY or ACC SET
position. "Cruise Off" will be displayed if the
system was in the ACC OFF position. To switch
back to Adaptive Cruise Control mode, press
the MODE button a second time.
WARNING!
In the normal Cruise Control mode, the sys-
tem will not react to vehicles ahead. In addi-
tion, the proximity warning does not activate
and no alarm will sound even if you are too
close to the vehicle ahead since the presence
of the vehicle ahead nor the vehicle-to-vehicle
distance is detected. Be sure to maintain a
safe distance between your vehicle and the
vehicle ahead. Always be aware which mode
is selected.
To Set A Desired Speed
When the vehicle reaches the speed desired,
press the SET - button and release. The EVIC
will display the set speed.
NOTE:
You must observe the display when setting
or changing speed, not the speedometer.
To Vary The Speed Setting
There are two ways to change the set speed:
• Use the accelerator pedal to adjust the ve-
hicle to the desired speed and press the SET
- button.
• Tap the RES + or SET - button to increase or
decrease the set speed in 0.6 mph (1 km/h)
increments respectively. Hold the RES + or
SET - button for 6 mph (10 km/h) increments.
To Cancel
The system will disable normal Cruise Control
without erasing the memory if:
• You softly tap or depress the brake pedal.
• You press the CANCEL button.
• The Electronic Stability Control/Traction Con-
trol System (ESC/TCS) activates.
To Resume
Press the RES + button and then remove your
foot from the accelerator pedal. The EVIC will
display the last set speed.
